sorry but this just flat isn't true particularly when over 44% of the country opposes climate change legislation and disputes the claim that it even exists.

Why is it greens must lie to push their agenda?

globalhoax is therefore pushing big oil and coal's agenda?

Does it really matters what these polls say? We need to listen to the scientists rather than pundits, politicians, and industry interests.

Thanks for the comments! Just to let you know this article is not based on a 'lie', but rather on polling data provided by two US universities, as stated in the article. Certainly any data from polls is subject to questioning and analysis and should be taken with a grain of salt.

But I do find it ironic, globalhoax, that you cite a poll to prove another poll is wrong.

An interpretation of a poll in which the questions are not publicly available. It is not worth a simmer of thought. On the other hand... I heard some good news today... "Polar Bears #1 threat is global warming" ... So Polar Bears must be having a good run if the only thing they have to fear is the cartoonish existence of AGW. Makes me wish I were a Polar Bear.

Jeremy, I may have missed it but I did not see a link to the poll you reference. Can you post that please?
